As expected by everyone, she became the wife of the Marquis after being married off

Yesterday, when Li Wenxuan entered the study, he unexpectedly found a piece of paper placed clearly in the middle of the desk, which asked him to pay attention to Li Jing's recent actions.

At that time, he looked at the paper in his hand and his face darkened. He didn't know who was reminding him, or using him. But he immediately asked someone to check Li Jing's recent activities. Before getting the news, he sat in the study, holding the paper in his hand and thinking.

"Your Highness, the Fourth Prince has been very close to the Xu family recently. I heard that the young ladies of the Xu family often meet the Fourth Prince."

"Meet him, haha." Li Wenxuan laughed sarcastically, crumpled the paper in his hand and said, "It seems that my brother finally can't wait any longer."

"You step back first and have someone prepare for my visit to the palace."

"Yes."

After receiving the news, Li Wenxuan went into the palace to meet Concubine Xian.

He felt a chill in his heart and was angry that someone could enter his study without his knowledge. After learning about Li Jing's actions, he wanted to clarify Emperor Yingde's attitude and whether Li Jing really wanted to marry Xu Ziyun at this time.

Li Wenxuan asked Concubine Xian to test the emperor's thoughts, and at the same time sent people to keep an eye on Li Jing's every move.

As expected, the next day, the news of the emperor's rejection of Concubine Xian reached Zhu Huaishu's ears, and the person who was keeping an eye on Li Jing also replied to Li Wenxuan.

Kunning Palace

"This is real."

Yu Ma knelt on the ground, tapping the queen's leg with a moderate force, and whispered, "Your Majesty, I personally checked this matter, and it is true."

The queen raised her eyebrows, and her deep and unfathomable eyes slightly opened up, and she said in an unusually cold tone: "Since the fourth prince wants to marry the daughter of the Xu family, how can I, as a queen mother, not fulfill his wish?"

Nanny Yu paused her tapping hands and looked at the queen with some shock in her eyes.

"The Queen?"

"Surprised?" The queen looked at her expression, her voice remaining cold and indifferent from beginning to end.

Nanny Yu lowered her head quickly and said, "I believe the Queen must have her reasons for doing this."

The queen did not speak. Instead, she raised her hands and looked at her own hands. Even though she had carefully maintained them, they still inevitably bore the marks of time. The look in her eyes became calmer.

Now the third prince has clearly gained the upper hand in the court. She understands that Li Wenxuan now has the support of the Sun family. Coupled with the growing strength of the Zhu family, Li Jing's crisis has become increasingly severe.

If she continued to suppress Li Jing as before, the Queen knew that the situation in the court would not necessarily be completely under her control. The more intense the fight between the two, the safer her Xu Li would be.

The most important point is that the queen has always known that her enemy is Emperor Yingde. He may still be concerned about Li'er now, but if Li Wenxuan's power in the court develops more and more, he will start to pay attention to his son around him as he gets older.

What the Queen wanted was that when Li Wenxuan and Li Jing, the two sons she had tested, started to kill each other and would not tolerate each other's existence, that would be the best time for her to have Li'er.

Jiangbei

"Giggle..."

The sound of fluttering feathers stopped by the window. Fu Bei caught the pigeon and took down the letter paper hidden under its feet.

"Good boy."

He touched the carrier pigeon and let it fly away.

"My lord, there is news from the princess." General Fu Bei handed the letter paper on the pigeon to Meng Changce who was writing.

A hidden meaning emerged in Meng Changce's dark phoenix eyes.

He turned his head slightly, raised his eyes and looked at him indifferently.

Fu Bei's face froze, and he lowered his head unconsciously because of the coldness of his dark eyes.

A breeze blew by, blowing a strand of Meng Changce's hair in front of his forehead.

Meng Changce put down the pen in his hand and just glanced, and the gloom in his eyes was replaced by the fragrance of osmanthus trees, intoxicating and lingering.

He reached out and gently stroked the picture of the drunken beauty on the paper, and the tenderness in his eyes seemed to seep out of his eyes.

The person in the painting is Shen Lanyue.

"no next time."

Fu Bei didn't dare to look up, and held up the letter paper: "Yes." Cold sweat was dripping down.

Meng Changce just glanced at him, and the lingering look in his eyes turned into an unclear emotion again. He walked to the side, took the letter in his hand and opened it.

Fu Bei breathed a sigh of relief, as if the pressure had left his body along with the paper.

But afterwards, he glanced at the drawing paper on the table and was so frightened that cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.

There was an extra spot of ink on the painting, which just happened to drip onto the corner of Shen Lanyue's eye, forming a clearly visible teardrop mole.

The woman who is 70% beautiful in the painting looks even more stunning, moving and charming. She leans against the window, and her slender arms make people feel uneasy.

Yesterday, Shen Lanyue drank Jiangbei's unique fruit wine, but she didn't expect it to be so strong and intoxicating, with an intoxicating aftereffect.

When she came to her senses, she was already in Meng Changce's arms. She was sober for only a few seconds before she fell into the strong drunkenness again. Shen Lanyue could no longer tell whether it was desire, struggle or longing.

Sweat seeped out of the teardrop mole at the corner of the eye.

Fu Bei didn't dare to look any longer and quickly retracted his glance.

Slander in the heart: Yesterday I accompanied the master to the lady's yard, and then I stopped after entering the yard. I saw the master was in a daze for a long time. It turned out that I blocked his sight at that time, and then drove him away. So that's how it is!

The Queen took action.

There were only five words on the letter, but the corners of Meng Changce's mouth curled up and cruelty emerged in his eyes.

Meng Changce walked to the desk, picked up a pen, wrote a few words, folded the paper and handed it to Fu Bei: "Send the letter to the capital."

"Yes."

Meng Changce's eyes flickered slightly, and he remembered the time when he asked Master Xu if he had any regrets, and he remained silent.

Capital

After Li Jing entered the palace, the Queen's attitude towards him remained the same as before, and she was still only concerned about his health.

After asking the usual questions, the Queen asked about the main purpose of this trip and asked Li Jing if he had a woman he liked, meaning that it was time to marry a wife.

The Queen smiled and said, "Don't you have a single noble lady in the capital that you like?"

Li Jing was a little surprised, but he didn't dare to say it directly. Instead, he replied respectfully: "I will listen to my father and mother."

"Then I will have to make the decision. You are the only adult prince who has not yet started a family. I am really worried."

"I have made you worry, mother."

The queen smiled, looked at him lovingly and said, "My child, I know you are filial, but for this important matter of marriage, you still have to choose someone you like."

"I believe that the person chosen by your majesty will be the one to stay with me for the rest of my life."

"Then let me think about it. There are indeed few noble ladies in the capital who are worthy of my prince." The queen frowned and suddenly thought: "Doesn't the Xu family have a legitimate daughter? She is a good girl. What do you think, prince?"

Li Jing's eyes were shocked. He didn't understand whether the Queen's words were a test or had some other purpose.
